re scared, we can go back now.""No!" Almost instantly, she reflexively refused, taking a deep breath and lifting her foot to step across the iron gate."Are you just going to walk in like that" the low..."Grandfather…" Xiao Heng was about to speak when Old Master Xiao coldly interrupted him:
"Leave that woman."
Mr. Xiao's icy command reached Xiao Heng's ears, suddenly! Xiao Heng narrowed his eyes and looked at the old man: "Grandfather investigated me"
Xiao Heng looked at his grandfather's eyes, and they turned cold.
Mr. Xiao snorted coldly, "You've brought such a formidable opponent upon yourself. As the head of the Xiao family, shouldn't I make things clear Should I just let you bring disaster to the Xiao family Hmm"
"Grandfather must be scared, Grandfather is afraid of the Shen family, Grandfather even fears a young member of the Shen family. No wonder all these years, everyone says that the Xiao family is inferior to the Shen family..."
Xiao Heng's words were cut short. The old man grabbed the cane beside him and swung it hard at Xiao Heng: "Shut your mouth!" The old man was bluffing, his cloudy old eyes glared fiercely at his grandson in front of him.
This grandson could be said to be the most outstanding of the Xiao family's generation, but he had a lazy habit. Old Master Xiao had always been very optimistic about his grandson and never thought that this grandson would bring such a formidable enemy to the Xiao family.
The Xiao family is not as good as the Shen family. Although rumors have spread outside these years, no one dared to say it to his face. Mr. Xiao's old face flushed red... This was almost Mr. Xiao's heart disease!
Xiao Heng's usual carefree demeanor vanished. The old master's cane struck him relentlessly, it was clear the old man meant to hurt him. Despite this, Xiao Heng didn't back down, his stubbornness remained undimmed, he didn't dodge the cane at all, letting the old master's cane lash out at him again and again.
The butler behind couldn't bear to see it and tried to persuade the old master: "Master, calm down. The young master is still young, and if you take the trouble to teach him many things, he will understand."
Old Master Xiao was hot-tempered. He snorted and said, "From now on, you are not allowed to see that woman again."
Xiao Heng suddenly clenched his fists and glared at Elder Xiao: "Absolutely not!"
"Say it again!" The old man's anger, which had just subsided, surged back up: "Xiao Heng, say it again for me!"
Just say it!
"I said, I absolutely couldn't give up on her!"
“You!” The old man was so angry his chest heaved. “Good! Very good! You’ve gotten bold!” As he berated Xiao Heng, the old man searched for the cane he had just thrown aside. “Lao Li, where’s my cane My cane!”
Behind him, Butler Lao Li's face was full of anxiety. He hid his cane behind his back and looked at Xiao Heng: "Young master, the old man is getting older. Just nod your head and agree to the old man, okay"
On Xiao Heng's handsome face, there was a stubborn refusal to admit defeat. He pursed his thin lips tightly, refusing to say a word.
"Cane!" Old Master Xiao shouted angrily, glaring at Old Li the steward, and reaching out to him: "Old Li! Give me my cane!"
"Master!" Lao Li still refused to give up.
Xiao Heng gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Uncle Li, give him the cane."
Elder Xiao’s chest heaved violently, he snatched the cane from Old Li’s hand and smashed it hard against Xiao Heng’s back: “You’ve grown wings!” With a flick of his wrist, the cane landed on Xiao Heng’s back!
"You're good!" Another cane, slammed hard against Xiao Heng's arm, leaving a bloody mark.
The old man was furious and raised his cane once more, smashing it down with all his might. Blow after blow, the cane rained upon Xiao Heng, eliciting a muffled groan from him. But his eyes remained resolute, refusing to yield.
"As a woman, you want to bring the Xiao family into peril! Xiao Heng, I didn't know when you learned to be as infatuated as your brother!"
Suddenly, Xiao Heng's eyes widened!
Suddenly raising his head, he glared fiercely at the enraged Old Master Xiao. His signature peach blossom eyes, which usually held a playful nonchalance or a tender affection when looking at Jian Tong, were now devoid of both. Bloodshot and menacing, they stared daggers at Old Master Xiao.
"Grandfather, my brother has passed away!"
Everyone only knows about Xiao Heng from the Xiao family, but they don't know that the Xiao family also has a low-key eldest grandson. He is Xiao Heng's older brother, but he passed away early during their move to the United States!
The passing of Xiao Heng's elder brother is a pain that Xiao Heng can't shake off!
He glared at Old Master Xiao, a hint of hidden hatred in his eyes!
The old butler saw that things were not going well, and hurriedly grabbed Old Master Xiao: "Master, please calm down."
Old Master Xiao was also shocked by the crimson in Xiao Heng's eyes. The atmosphere fell into an eerie silence for a long time. After a while, Old Master Xiao let go of his hand, and the cane in his hand "clattered" to the marble floor with a sound. The old man's body softened, and with a "bang", he slumped onto the sofa behind him.
As if in a moment, this elderly man who had just moments ago been spry and silver-haired, suddenly aged ten years. His eyes, now clouded with age, flickered with despair and a hint of regret. Yet, his stern old face remained taut, unyielding.
Xiao Heng's blood-red eyes gazed at the old man on the sofa. He squeezed his eyes shut, hiding the complicated emotions in them, gritted his teeth, and when he opened them again, the scarlet pupils finally regained some calm, the redness subsiding.
"From today onwards, I officially enter the Xiao Corporation's inner circle," he stood straight, motionless, only letting his eyes fall on the old man on the sofa, and said firmly:
"Jian Tong, she's the first woman I truly loved. I won't give up on her, no matter how much pressure Shen Xiu Jin puts on the Xiao family, I won't give up on her."
One does one's own thing, and Shen Xiuqin came at me this time. Since I brought danger to the Xiao family, then I will bear it alone, enter the Xiao clan, and I will face Shen Xiuqin myself.
Mr. Xiao opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but when he saw the determined look in his grandson's eyes and the confident tone of his voice, he closed his mouth again.
Before leaving, Xiao Heng glanced at the old man on the sofa and said lightly:
"I am not my brother. I would not make the same choices he did, and I would never give up a woman I love because of you, or anyone else. I will also always be able to protect the women and family I care about."
Master Xiao suddenly raised his head, and what he saw was Xiao Heng's tall and slender figure disappearing at the gate.
Butler Lao Li called out: “Master Young Master”
"Let him go." Old Master Xiao let out a cold snort and waved his hand at Lao Li, "I'm tired, you go down first." Lao Li left. Old Master Xiao tightened his face, his old eyes were deep... For the choice he had to make next, he needed to see what this promising grandson of his could do!
Xiao Heng's car roared on the overpass.
The wind whipped through the open car window, tousling a head of black hair. Xiao Heng made a call, put on his Bluetooth headset, and said, "Shen Xiujian, listen carefully, Jian Tong, I won't give up. The Xiao family, I will protect it. Let's see in the end, who wins and who loses!"
On the other end of the phone, the man's long fingers lightly tapped on his phone case twice. Hearing this, the corner of his mouth twitched upwards, and a magnetically deep voice echoed: "Alright, I'll accompany you in whatever you want to do. But my things, you better not touch."
Both parties almost simultaneously ended the call, without further ado, and each entered a state of preparation.ot easy to mess withThe second year, I still hadn't found him.
